Not quite IMHO. Suppose I want to create git repo for Debian packaging. First
what
I want to do is creating 'upstream' branch, committing to it, and only then
merging to 'master' and add 'debian/' to 'master' and so further...
And, well, bug report is just 'minor' to fix confusing message.
P.S. Yes, I know about git-import-{dsc{,s},orig}.
